Evergreen offers the small class sizes and a focus on learning to learn that we felt was a good fit for our child and the right way to begin an education. His pace of learning has been excellent and the freedom he gets to structure his day's lessons instills, we think, the idea that he is at school to explore and learn what it is that grips his interest. There is plenty of attention to the necessary basic skills - it's just that here those skills are taught as a means to an end rather than as the endpoint by themselves.
My daughter loves Evergreen and so do I. She is currently in the Primary program and has had an amazing amount of growth. Her development is being nurtured and in a way that works for her. Evergreen does an excellent job in following the Montessori Philosophy and has great parent involvement and a highly dedicated staff. I wouldn't have her any where else!
We wanted a Montessori education for our daughters, and had spent a year in two other area schools before finding Evergreen. The difference was amazing. Evergreen is an incredibly caring place and the academic program is strong in both the primary and the elementary classes. Within the first year, we saw a dramatic improvement in our younger daughter, academically and socially. The after school program has improved greatly over the last year and now includes activities like yoga, field trips, and science projects. The teachers really care about the students, and it shows.
We switched our 3 year old son here mid-year after starting him at a traditional nursery school, which was a disaster. Evergreen has an open, friendly, relaxed, flexible atmosphere -- it is not rule-bound. There is no bureaucracy. The teachers are experienced Montessori teachers and incredible people -- they appreciate each child's strengths and encourage students to understand one another's strengths. My son's learning and imagination is growing by leaps and bounds and it is delightful to watch.
